It sounds to me like you've hit on something that lots of people would use. Why not put this forward as a feature request? Perhaps the good folks at Apache will add some kind of shared image directory to Tomcat. It won't help you today but this sounds like something that could be added fairly easily if it doesn't violate the architecture of Tomcat in some important way.

I probably will, but I'd look kind of silly if there were already a solution (I'm new to tomcat) :P
I'm looking for a "good" or "best" practice to deal with site-wide logo type files...things that will never change, and that every app will want access to. This is on linux, but enabling sym links just seems to be an admin/backup complexity, and duplicating logos in every project also seems wrong. I see the shared directory looks ideal, but apparently this is only for classes or libraries. Perhaps a simple logo loader class in the shared folder would be most convenient, but I have to wonder if loading something as simple as a small logo should have to use the overhead of going through a class.
